Jet 321861 Gap Bed Lathe Newall DP700 Dro

Product Description

The JET 321861 is a heavy-duty gap bed engine lathe paired with the Newall DP700 digital readout (DRO) system. The GH-2680ZH platform is built for precision turning operations in professional machine shops and industrial environments. The integrated Newall DP700 DRO provides real-time axis position feedback, reducing setup time and improving dimensional accuracy on repetitive cuts. At 9,251 pounds, this is a full-size production lathe intended for skilled machinists and toolroom professionals who demand rigidity and repeatability in daily use.

The JET 321861 is suited for industrial machine shops, toolrooms, and heavy manufacturing facilities where large-diameter or long-workpiece turning is required. The gap bed design allows for increased swing capacity when the gap piece is removed, accommodating larger workpieces that a standard bed lathe cannot handle. This unit is appropriate for professional machinists performing production turning, facing, threading, and boring operations.

Key Features

• Integrated Newall DP700 DRO system for real-time axis position readout
• Gap bed configuration allows oversized workpiece swing when gap piece is removed
• Heavyweight cast iron construction supports rigidity and vibration damping during cuts
• Full-size production lathe platform designed for continuous industrial use
• Sold as a complete, ready-to-install unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-configured production lathe unit based on the JET GH-2680ZH platform with factory-installed Newall DP700 DRO. Consult JET documentation for compatible tooling, chucks, and accessories specific to this lathe series.

Installation Notes

Installation of a machine tool of this class requires a qualified millwright or mechanical contractor and appropriate lifting equipment rated for the machine weight. The unit must be leveled on a reinforced concrete floor using precision machinist levels before operation. Electrical connection should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for the applicable voltage and phase configuration. Disconnect and lock out all power sources before performing any service or adjustment on the machine or DRO system.
